They hate me because I speak the truth

[@gummywormjim]

This whole channel is amazing! You deserve so much success with this! Keep developing and creating whatever calls to you! Your intuition seems to be on point and you deserve WAY more views than you get at the moment!

[@SquidGodDev]

Thank you! That's very kind of you to say :)

[@AleMohamad]

This video was great! You had a need, and you went forward to make something visually appealing. And it also still works! Good job, Atsu.

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks Ale!

[@SteveTheNerd]

Love your channel so far! Thanks for sharing all this cool insights into your work with the playdate. Mine should arrive soon, so I'm starting to get ready developing for the playdate myself. One thing that came immediately to my mind when I saw your "morse code" data transfer stuff was compressing the leveldata, to make transfering the data via beeps even faster. Maybe you could use huffman encoding for that 🤔

[@SquidGodDev]

Glad you're enjoying the channel. Yeah I got a lot of feedback about doing some sort of compression algo for the data transfer - that's definitely a smart thing to do. I just ended up putting something quick together to try and get it working.

[@SteveTheNerd]

@@SquidGodDev Yeah, I imagine it’s much more important to work on the real features of the game instead of a minor performance improvement to the level transfer speed. 👍 I‘m definitely excited to see your next vid ☺️

[@skibbl_dev]

So excited for the game! Don’t burn yourself out 😅

[@ScottBaker38]

Fuckin rad dude, that’s sick. Love these logs.

[@positivevibrations5103]

Transfer of level data via morse code 🤯 so freakin cool!

[@niziul]

The site looks really cool!

[@SquidGodDev]

Thank you!

[@HACKYOfficial]

Flex box chad indeed

[@hazapple]

I'm at a point in my life where if I ever need to make a website, I think I'd try to export a Godot app to web instead of learning modern webdev. You're doing powerful work, thank you for your service.

[@SquidGodDev]

Haha never thought about exporting a Godot app maybe I'll have to try that at some point

[@carnival5925]

Understandable choice but frontend is actually pretty easy and fun you should try it

[@CYON4D]

Awesome.

[@ModBros8434]

Looking great so far! Do you think it would be a good idea to add some data redundancy to the level codes, such as a checksum?

[@SquidGodDev]

Yeah that would probably be the next step

[@LolaliciousSmiley]

I have a bioinformatics class project where we're making a website. I'm glad I got to offload all that crap onto the one programming major.

[@eboatwright_]

EVERYTIME I HEAR "FIGMA" I THINK "FIGMA DEEZ NUTZ" TOO LOL

[@SquidGodDev]

Can't help it - it just rolls off the tongue so well

[@eboatwright_]

@@SquidGodDev yeah XD

[@ruolbu]

right there with ya

[@Stiky_Piston]

Will you ever release the game to the public?

[@tracythan362]

Did you use html and cs for the website?

[@SquidGodDev]

Yeah just HTML and CSS with vanilla Javascript

[@OmegaTakenZ]

"It also sounds like a great Set up Tool to a Deez Nuts Joke"💀

[@fedirkryvyi]

So… you work at Microsoft, right? I think I remember those badges 🤔

[@SquidGodDev]

Good eye. Yup that's right.

[@NKCubed]

> sneakily scans qr code from the video 😏

[@SquidGodDev]

Was thinking of making that a rick roll. Should've done it

[@LazoDev]

Try to make a game in GDevelop pls, just try for an hour and if you don’t like it, don’t. But just try

[@SquidGodDev]

I'll think about it. Maybe in the future 🤔

[@fredik21]

Oh no, дуже багато hard слів.

[@pranshuhat5815]

Try to learn... ... Animation in wick editor. ... Godot game devlopment

[@SquidGodDev]

I've done Godot development before - it's my first few videos. I would keep making games in Godot if I wasn't doing Playdate stuff.

[@pranshuhat5815]

@@SquidGodDev ohk then try unity

[@SquidGodDev]

@@pranshuhat5815 tried unity as well before I started the channel. I'll make a video eventually about my game dev journey

[@Milanesium]

The device has WLAN, yet you used QR and morse code to transfer level data and then say you used dark mode on a web frontend because you are sane and rational?!?

[@SquidGodDev]

Haha well the device has wifi, but there's no developer API so I can't access it or use it at all
